Title: Why Do They Do It To Their Cars??????
Post by: Squealey on 17 January 2010, 00:29:22
Ok, So you have a Chrysler 300C, now personally I really like these motors. Im sure they drive like american cr@p and are built out of tracing paper, but those looks, its just such a good/mean looking motor!

Now, lets say your bank balance is high but your sense balance is low and you have a perfectly good £20,000 car just sitting on the driveway, your bored, you have a friend that works in a bodyshop and hes just had a truck load of green paint in, question is, would you do this?????

an apalling colour, and so badly thought through, he will have to keep that car for life now. Nobody will buy that, couldnt give it away...

however it is his car, and entirely up to him what he legally does with it, but i suspect he wishes he kept his potential buyer in mind before painting it that colour.

Shite colour.

Pic 3  made me realise how small the boot area could actually be compared to an Omega (Despoite it being 503 litres as mentioned in annother thread)

Don't like the wheels, but mint colour! 8-)
I wouldn't have it on my car personally, but I think it looks good.

Now, if you are going to ' tart up ' a 300, I think this is the way forward. Really different. I like it personally, look nice on an MV6, DON'T YOU THINK.

I agree, its not nice but just out of interest,how many American cars have you owned and driven? Trust me, having owned,maintained, overhauled and driven a fair few, I think the general assumption that American cars are crap, handle badly and badly made is a bit off. You wouldbe suprised at just how many European cars share mechanical parts with American cars and how many American part designs are produced under licence here.

A lot of wheels on US cars look naff, simply because they are chromed.

To be honest, it’s actually not that bad... In fact, dare I say it - I actually quite like it.

I absolutely HATE the wheels though - Yuk!

I'm not saying I would buy one in that colour (that said if price was right I could be tempted), however it would differently stand out especially at car shows! :)

That aimed at me too?
Why not say what you mean, cos I haven't got the foggiest what a Toc H lamp is, or what TB means from what Mr. Skruntie put.
Just cos I like it and you don't, you want to slag me off? This seems to be the policy on here.
Bear in mind that we all have different opinions and have to live with everyone else's.

Two years ago I was looking for a 300C to replace my last Omega, the local dealer did not have one but showed my a fully-loaded Chrysler Sebring instead (leather, satnav, the works). Car was nearly-new and low-mileage but was horrific inside and out, I sat in it and did not even want to test drive it. No wonder that Amrican motor industry went bust shortly afterwards.

After this bad experience I gave up on looking for a 300C, and at the end I went for the Kompressor instead - much smaller and zero toys  :(
